Ok, so this one needs an explanation. This is a message my mother creating with her cute decorative blocks. While we on our way to Las Vegas, I received a phone call from my mother saying that Jasper escaped out her front screen door and he was running away from them as they gave chase. They recruited the help of a neighbor and her son. Jasper was in an area that is a green belt behind the houses which was a very steep slope. My father and this neighborhood boy climbed the hill and tried to keep Jasper in their sight which was not easy since the slope had lots of growth on it. Their biggest fear was that he would reach the ridge of the slope which leads to a canyon. Thank goodness that did not happened and after an hour hunt and chase, they were able to get him. My poor parents--not only did they have the responsibility of my children's dog but they had to run around the streets and climb hills in the 100 degree heat trying to get him back.
